A lot of gamers (not saying you) are not keeping patience for that. Though, im actually glad they are airing this thing out and letting the stories unfold naturally. Unlike many other zombie stories, there doesn't seem to be a high intense scene requirement every 5 min of screen time. Keeping with the characterization based story telling of the original game.[spoiler=Joel] I noticed this too. The showrunners seem to be flirting with the idea Joel is definitely different than he was 20 years ago. Not quite a violent sociopath, but just a guy who has calloused over time from hard livin. Sure he can do awful things when he needs to, but mostly he just tries to get by. Perhaps they are trying to endear him to viewers before things get real bad, which it appears might start next week. Time will tell. [/spoiler]</blockquote>
